Message from Lucky 13 Saloon

Brooklyn's Only Full-Time Punk/Metal Alternative Bar

Lucky 13 Saloon is the brainchild of Melody Henry and Jeff Blanchard. Though they come from very different backgrounds, their complementary knowledge and skills made opening an alternative bar their perfect collaborative venture. Their vision was to create an intimate space for all types of people who feel somehow different; people who are outright on the fringe of society as well as those who may seem or look completely "normal," but feel like they don't quite fit in with the J Crew crowd. Lucky 13 Saloon aims to offer a haven for all types of misfits, as The Pyramid did many years ago, combined with the attitude of places long-gone like Mission and Alcatraz, where bikers rubbed elbows with drag queens, metalheads, intellectuals and punks alike - everyone just out to have some drinks and a great time.

a bar  2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

it's a metal bar like many others. the staff is ok when you can actually get they're attention. the juke box does have some killer tunes, and the movies are usually pretty cool.

Metal, blood, Pabst.  5 Star Rating - World class

If you happen to be a fan of metal, and you like gory horror flicks, and you like to get plastered while listening to metal with a gory horror flick playing in the background, then this is your dream bar. Cheap drinks and did I mention metal? There's some punk too, for good measure.

nice looks, different inside 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

place looks nice for a metal maniac like myself, good jukebox. good posters on the walls. what destroyed the whole experience for me when I was there was that they were showing abuse mangas the whole night through. If this is the way the staff wants to show how "different" they are, well, have fun. I don't get it how abusing and violating women even in the manga format should be "cool". There are enough other places where the play good metal music. won't come back

For a good time.... go here! 5 Star Rating - World class

Lucky 13 is a nice touch to this area. If your sick of all the scenester bars with people thinking they are too cool to talk to you... Then make the trip to Lucky 13. I've been in there a few times. And being new to the city I knew no one. Within the first 10 minutes of being in there one of the owners had introduced me to everyone! Not what you'd expect from a 'metal' bar. The other owner, Melody, is an awsome bartender. She even invented a vegan white russian that is absolutely delicious! She also made me feel totally at home here. And all the other patrons give this bar a total family feeling. Well, if your family was covered in tattoos. Even if your not from this area... it's totally worth it. Make the trip!

Pros: The staff, drinks and patrons are awsome!

Good Beer and even better people! 5 Star Rating - World class

This bar is amazing. The jukebox alone deserves its own shrine for having the best selections of metal, punk, and rock. All of the bartenders kick a$$. The mix of people is always fun and changes according to the time of day and the day of the week. Scaryoake every other Thursday is mind-blowingly fun. Original Cyn Burlesque on Mondays is always a great show. What else, the horror movies run the gamut from being actually scary to ridiculously bad and hilarious (what more could you want in a selection of horror films). All in all this is the best place in Brooklyn.

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
